the dashboard turtles and I covered some ground (heading back up rte 9 @ 1:29 p.m.), LOVE these travel companions from Antigua and the Bahamas, their little heads bob to the music and the bumps in the road - life is good if you're a dashboard turtle :)

Happy Mother's Day Mom

Happy Mother's Day in Heaven Mom!

Thank YOU for all that you did for me

and even for the strength you give me to this day!

Your Mother is always with you....

She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street;

she's the smell of bleach in your freshly laundered sheets;

she's the cool hand on your brow when you're not well.

Your Mother lives inside your laughter.

And she's crystallized in every tear drop.

She's the place you came from, your first home;

and she's the map you follow with every step you take.

She's your first love and your first heartbreak,

and nothing on earth can separate you.

Not time, not space... not even death!

Dad,Mom and Me

Little Grammy (my Mom's Mom) and Me

Happy Mother's Day to EVERY WOMAN

who has ever hugged a baby,

kissed a boo-boo,

taught a lesson, listened closely, cared deeply

… and passed on her love and wisdom

to someone in the world who needed her!

putting things into perspective ...

"OH CRAP!", said I, as I headed out to survey the damage of the sympathetic fall of the Art Chouinard wall, just one day after the devastation that befell Japan. How was I going to move that old stone? How would I rebuild? How would it effect the existing structure and just after I had to replace my crank shaft sensor in my car ... what else could possibly happen to me? ... and then I stopped myself from moving forward in my little 'moment' and remembered all the terrible pictures I had seen this morning from Japan and the flooding in New Jersey and I thanked God for all of my Blessings, thanked him for where I am and what I have at this very moment, pulled my sweater a little tighter and smiled at my fallen wall.

even smiled at the PlayStation 3 wire that Bella almost chewed through

(Rog ... not so much)

putting things into perspective ...

I got nothin' to worry about!

prayers for the people of Japan and all those who are not as Blessed as i

etc. January 2011

snow at midnight in the backyard

not fun driving in,

but definitely a winter wonderland!

okay, check this out very closely ... another example of a backyard miracle (you remember the Rog falling out of the tree miracle). Put Bella out on her lead and went to check on her a short time later and found THIS! The little puppy had climbed the stairs to the loft over the garage and fallen through the back of the stairs (see her green lead). Very lucky that little puppy did not hang herself! What was she thinking??? Thank you angels for watching over her!
